Dine Out For The Gulf Coast is running through tomorrow night, part of a nationwide effort to gather donations for the Gulf Coast Oil Spill Fund. Participating restaurants are contributing a portion of their proceeds from these nights although, disappointingly, only four restaurants in the entire city are participating.
